About this study

Official title: PregText: Assessing the Feasibility of Monitoring Influenza Vaccine Safety in Pregnant Women Using Text Messaging

In this study, the investigators will prospectively assess fever rates and other adverse events in pregnant women after administration of inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) using text messaging. The investigators hypothesize that women <20 weeks gestational age who receive IIV will be willing to enroll in a text messaging-based vaccine adverse event monitoring program and will use it to report fever in the post-vaccination period as well as continue to text pregnancy-related outcomes through the end of their pregnancy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Recruited Eligible Pregnant Women <20 Weeks Gestational Age

    Number of eligible pregnant women <20 weeks gestational age who receive IIV who will be willing to enroll in a text messaging-based vaccine adverse event monitoring program

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants Who Replied to Text Messaging to Assess Fever Frequency in the d0-2 Post-vaccination With IIV

    Number of enrollees who text temperature-related information for the d0-2 period post-vaccination

    Measured: on vaccination day and the next 2 days (D0-2)

  2. Number of Women Enrollees Who Continue to Text Pregnancy-related Outcomes Through the End of Pregnancy

    Feasibility of text messaging to monitor pregnancy outcomes through the end of pregnancy: Number of women enrollees who continue to text pregnancy-related outcomes through the end of their pregnancy

    Measured: 9 months
